then you can drive it as a n/a 20v when you dont want the power


Mad Max style!
Sounds like the best of both worlds really. You can turn it on when you need the power and off again when cruising.

You can't just turn a turbo off.

yeah

also a SHIT load cheaper and easier than fitting a turbo!!
and cooler, im sure that switch alone will bag you at least 5 chicks!!

Exactly. A $hit load cheaper than converting to turbo.
All it'll take is modifying the current setup.

Dunno about sticking it out the bonnet though hehehe. :lol:

Yep it would get you heaps of chicks!! Especially when you get the broom handle out the window to try flick the switch at the traffic lights.
And the binoculars to read the gauges out there to.

I live on an island remember, there isn't exactly many straight roads, or really any roads that aren't 50kph :(

I was going to hook up a switch, but it's very slow sucking all the air through the super charger.

Well, thats a little easier said than done :?

I don't have one to put back on to start with, and I'm very limited for space on the piping. Another bird a turbo conversion would be killing.

I'll have a looksie though and see if I can weld some thing up.

I haven't got a stock location, thats all. It's a 20V remember, every thing on the car is custom.

Good in some ways, bad in others.

There is about 1/2 an inch of piping from the intercooler and the piping from the supercharger to the cooler is squeezed between the radiator and the cooler itself.

I need to go ponder a few things :lol:
